Talent shows are common on Chinese television, but instead of casting starry-eyed (幻想的)
hopefuls, a new series pairs young famous actors with big-name experienced professionals
who are ready to teach them a lesson.
The Birth of Performer first appeared on Zhejiang Satellite TV in October and has already
received 330 million online views for just its first two episodes. The show has caused debate
on social media about the acting skills of some stars.
A flood of investment in China’s TV and film industry has driven up paychecks for popular
young attractive persons and soap opera sweethearts, but some stars have been slammed by
critics and the public for lacking professionalism and acting skills.
“People wonder why some actors don’t take acting seriously with more and more money
pouring in,” Wu Tong wrote. However, he said that he had met many devoted young actors
through the show, whose A-list cast of mentors(导师) includes Zhang Ziyi, who starred in the
Oscar-winning kung fu epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and comedy queen Song
Dandan.
One highlight from the first episode saw Zhang appear to become angry when she
disagreed with her fellow judge-mentor Liu Ye over the performance of contestant Zheng
Shuang.
“Do you know what acting is?” Zhang questioned Liu. In response, Liu slammed his phone
on the table — and then his shoe.
As the audience and contestants were left stunned (震惊的), Zhang turned to Liu and warmly
said, “Give me a hug.” The two mentors explained that their quarrel was intended to show
how to act out a scene of conflict — but later, online commentators speculated (推测) that Zhang
was containing her genuine anger.
24. What can we learn about The Birth of Performer according to Paragraph 2?
A. Only the young love it. B. It proves popular.
C. The performers are excellent. D. There are fewer stars present.
25.What does the underlined word “slammed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Praised. B. Employed.
C. Criticized. D. Applied.
26. By mentioning Zhang Ziyi, Wu Tong wants to show _______.
A. she is famous worldwide B. she earned a lot of money
C. she is devoted to performance D. she has drawn public attention
27. How did Liu react when Zhang Ziyi questioned Zheng Shuang’s performance?
A. He consulted with her patiently. B. He behaved rather rudely.
C. He had words with her. D. He fought against her.
C
While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your list, the ever-changing
ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your
mind. Lying 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in Jukkasjärvi, the hotel, which is carved
entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually, with each getting increasingly beautiful and impressive.
The 29-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989, after Jukkasjärvi residents organized
an art show in a 5.5-square-meter ice house to try to call tourists’ attention to the remote
village during the freezing winter months. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting many
day visitors. However, it was not until a group of adventurous souls arrived with sleeping
bags, announcing their intention to spend the night inside the house, that the idea of the
frozen hotel was born.
The ICEHOTEL has come a long way since its beginnings. It covers an area of over 5,500
square meters. The planning begins months earlier in March when about 5,000 tons of ice are
harvested from the river and transferred to cold storage, where they sit till the beginning of
winter. Construction begins in earnest in November, when about 100 workers come to the
region. By December, the unique frozen accommodation is ready to open for business.
Regardless of whether visitors select the luxury carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the
temperature is always set to a bone-chilling -5°C! That is why guests are advised to lie close
inside warm sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most
end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional,
and warmer, cabins nearby.
In addition to the unique rooms, the hotel also offers guests fun activities like snowshoeing,
or dog sledding, and for those brave enough to suffer through the below freezing temperatures
— overnight wilderness camping! The hotel’s single restaurant serves food, while the drinks
are always chilled to perfection in the world-famous ICEBAR!
28. Why did Jukkasjärvi residents organize an art show in 1989?
A. To attract tourists. B. To follow a tradition.
C. To excite adventurers. D. To experience cold.
29. How to deal with tons of ice harvested from the river in March?
A. Carve them roughly.
B. Keep them with cold storage.
C. Design unique forms.
D. Construct them slowly.
30. Which of the following characteristics is necessary for those going camping all night?
A. Wealth. B. Good health.
C. Near distance. D. Braveness.
31. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. ICEHOTEL, A Wise Choice
B. ICEHOTEL Is in the Arctic Circle
C. ICEHOTEL Has a Unique Scenery
D. ICEHOTEL Opens for the 29th Year
D
As solar power becomes a bigger part of our overall energy mix, scientists are working
on more efficient ways of storing the power of the sun for use during the night-time, or on
particularly cloudy days. And now a new type of material has been developed that can do
just that — store solar energy when it’s in abundance, and release it as heat later on as
required.
“This work presents an exciting way for energy harvesting and storage within a single
material,” the University of Toronto’s Ted Sargent told MIT News. “The approach is
innovative and distinctive.”
Many solar energy storage schemes focus on transforming the energy to electricity and
then keeping the electricity saved for later use. This approach instead uses a chemical
reaction that produces heat rather than power.
The key to the process is a molecule ( 分 子 ) that can remain stable in one of two
structures. Sunlight kicks it into a long-lasting “charged” mode, and then another
stimulus (刺激物) — such as light, heat, or electricity — is used to return it to its original, “not
charged” state, and a burst of heat was given off as a result.
Such solar thermal fuels (STF) have been developed before, but this new method is the
first based on a solid-state material rather than a liquid one, and that can make all the
difference in terms of how it can be used. What’s more, it’s based on inexpensive materials
and with widespread manufacturing in mind.
The researchers want to remove the slight yellowish smell that the material currently
has, and increase the heat level from 10°C to 20°C. One of the first practical uses could be
in electric cars, which can suffer from reduced driving ranges in cold weather due to the
extra energy required for heating.
32. What is the most special of the new type of material?
A. It saves electricity for later use.
B. It changes the energy to electricity.
C. It stores plenty of heat and power as well.
D. It produces heat through a chemical reaction.
33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The principle of producing heat.
B. The difficulty of producing heat.
C. The long process of absorbing heat.
D. The basic structures of a molecule.
34. Which of the following is right about the STF mentioned in the passage?
A. It hasn’t been tried out before.
B. It can’t be got from a liquid.
C. It is of little value in real life.
D. It proves not a bit expensive.
35. What do the researchers think of the heat level?
A. It’s low. B. It’s high.
C. It’s proper. D. It’s unimportant.

For many kids, reading just doesn’t come easily. 36. ____________. Others have yet to
discover a special story that sparks their imagination and shows just how fun reading can be.

foundation for learning throughout life.
Read to and with your kids as often as possible, and try these other simple ways to help
them become eager readers:
37. ____________. Comics or joke books may not be your first choice to boost literacy, but the
reality is they can be very motivating. Kids will often amaze you with their ability to read
something that they really want to read.

____________! Through repetition, kids learn the text and eventually read it with ease and
confidence. 39. ____________.
Read aloud. Reading aloud to your kids helps them build their vocabularies and
introduces new concepts, facts and ideas. You also show that you enjoy reading for fun, and
help them connect sounds with letters on the page. 40. ____________. And it doesn’t have to
end once kids get older — the comfort of a parent’s voice and undivided attention is
something kids never outgrow.
A. Select the best book
B. Start with your child’s picks
C. That’s not only OK, it’s a good thing
D. Reading aloud needs many important foundational skills

“What you see as junk, I see as possible treasure.”

Not only the imagined one from a guy to his girl, but the gift I was 51 just before I found it.
It can still 52 something. I’ll find a small glass cap and add a little colored water to it.
Junk? Absolutely not. Just because it’s 53 damaged doesn’t mean it has lost its 54 .
Like me. I’ve been 55 , but after all that, I still have a purpose. 56 picked me up out of
the trash pile, 57 me off and found in me something new. Maybe, just maybe, I needed to
be broken and abandoned in order to 58 His plans for me.
So, next time you pass by a lost 59 , beaten down and damaged, deserted and seen as
60 by others, remember, that is a vessel(器皿) filled by God, pouring out for His purpose.
